So I am toying with the idea of eventually converting the Fury to fuel injection using one of the popular aftermarket kits available out there today.

But first I want to go to a four barrel intake and carburetor. I've done some looking and it appears that there was an aftermarket intake for the 318 Poly available for a while, but it looks like it is no longer produced.

I don't plan to make this a race car, I'm not trying to make a ton of power, I just want something that is reliable. I'm looking for info and/or leads on a compatible intake.

I have a mopar cast iron 4 barrel intake on mine, works good. You can find those for $300-400 if your lucky, most will ask 5. The only problem with the new one is that its tall so you might need to cut the hood... so I've heard.

It sounds like you'd be better off with the factory 4 barrel intake. The Chrysler Power intake needs a few mods to work best such as a bigger cam. With standard engines you will lose too much low down torque. It's also pretty expensive and there may be a long lead-time depending on if there are any in stock. The Weiand 7503 isn't a great choice either as it has a huge torque hole below 3,000 rpm. Above those revs it is good though. The factory 4 barrel and a 600 vac sec carb should give you what you are looking for.

I was wondering about that. I certainly don't want to cut a hole in my hood.

I have the factory 4bbl on my 64 Fury Convertible. Hotter cam from Gary Pavlovik (Mopar Mailing List) and it runs great. New 4bbl carb from Edelbrock to top it off. Starts first time, every time and has great pickup and nice lope...

The Chrysler Power intake fits fine under a stock hood - it looks taller due to the open runner design. Compare the height in the pics below of a Weiand 7503, the factory 4 barrel, and the Chrysler Power manifold. It's not much taller. The info I gave you on the manifolds is legit. I started with a 7503, and swapped to a factory 4 barrel. The advice on the Chrysler Power was straight from Gary Pavlovich himself (poly guru and part designer of the manifold). He supplied me with all my parts including a hot cam, but told me I'd need to go bigger again for the manifold to work properly.

A friend of mine has the CP Intake on his built Poly stroker. It fits under his stock 65 Coronet hood just fine. Bill (my friend) actually penned an article on his motor that appeared in CP Magazine. Interestingly, at the time they did a comparison to the Weiand single plane intake on the dyno at JBRE in Glen Rock PA. The CP intake was better everywhere, all the way to 6000 rpm. Likely due to the raised-runner design. It's not cheap, but well worth it for a hot combination.

You will be happy with whatever one you end up with. If the CP is in your budget it probabaly is "the best" I however am perfectly happy with my cast iron one at the moment. The car has a 318 with original iron intake and a carter AFB 650, I put a dual barrel 2.5 exhaust system with an X pipe. Runs really good, has tons of low down torque, and will chirp the tires if you want it to. Has not broke down on me yet and I was driving it daily for a couple months.

ALSO, my 64 Fury wagon supposedly has a stock cam that the PO told me he had re-ground to be hotter. Thats all I have to go on as the engine has been running strong since and I never have opened it up myself to check.

The Chrysler Power may well be the "best" intake, but might not work in your application without other modifications. I don't know how standard your engine is but if you currently have a 2bbl carb it is probably stock? These are the words from Gary Pavlovich re the Chrysler Power Manifold: "The OEM 4 barrel manifold will outperform the Wind Tunnel with your 258 camshaft. The Wind Tunnel needs minimum of a 264/.450” (222@.050”) to “work” as there is too much plenum for cams less than 222@.050”. I had several list members swap out their Wind Tunnels for the OEM Poly 4bb. Intake with 256 and 258 camshaft profiles as they lost torque & HP over the OEM Poly 4bbl. If you “up” the cam profile or Stroke your Poly then the Wind Tunnel would benefit you". If you go with the bigger cam you might then need a higher stall converter (if you have an auto) and deeper rear gears. Once you start making changes the costs tend to escalate...as we all know from experience! Hope this info helps.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good information. My car is bone stock. Grandpa never did anything to it other than change the oil and gap the sparkplugs. I know my Dad never did anything to the motor either. I really don't want to blow the whole thing apart and start modifying it, I'm just looking to upgrade the induction a bit. This car is a cruiser, and being that it's been in the family since day one I intend to pretty much keep it that way. After reading everything so far, it seems that for my intended purpose a stock four barrel intake is probably the way to go.

I had the Weiand 7503 on my stock poly. It is a single plane thus the torque loss at low RPM. The Chrysler Power intake fits under the hood of the early "B's" ok as in the photo below.View attachment 954110View attachment 954111

OrthmannJ, Just so you know TTI exhaust makes a full dual exhaust for the 64 Wagon. The 64 Dodge wagon pictured above has their exhaust system on it. It has their headers but they do make it from the manifolds.
